The UKR IEE Project aims to assist the Government of Ukraine to achieve a sustainable transformation of industrial energy usage practices within the country. In order to do this, the project is establishing and promoting the Industrial Energy Efficiency (IEE) concepts of Energy Management System (EnMS) and Energy Systems Optimization (ESO), along with the promotion and deployment of the ISO 50000 Energy Management Standard Series.

Energy Management System (EnMS) provides a structured and systematic approach for the integration of energy efficiency concept into enterprise management culture and day-to-day practices. EnMS delivers: (i) A framework for understanding significant energy uses; (ii) Action plans for continuous improvement of energy use performance, and (iii) Documentation to sustain and demonstrate energy performance improvements over time. Energy Management System establishes a proper linkage between energy management business practices and core industrial values, such as cost reduction, increased productivity, environmental compliance, and competitiveness. Practical record demonstrates that for companies that are totally new to energy management concepts, average energy efficiency gains through the adoption of EnMS in the first several years in the range between 10 and 20% and with minimal investment costs.
